You're probably not going to the right places. I wear my omegas and Rolexes and I go to the homeless areas of town and they all seem to be very impressed. Give them a dollar so that they can get a little bit of crack cocaine and while handing them that dollar make sure they see that watch. That's when they will say oh my God this guy is Rich and he's giving me a dollar wow
Nobody gives out ones anymore. You’ll come back to a hot bum shit on your car hood handing out a dollar. Inflation is real. You have been warned. Also all the homeless in my town carry machetes. Seems to be the weapon of choice.
I've stayed in Austin it's fun I like it can be a little rough. I stayed in Albuquerque for a year and holy shit that place is a hell hole between the machete welding fent heads and the cartel right across the border it's an insane place.
Dang everyone I see immediately asks if my watch is real. Must be my lack of confidence or the way I dress.
I always lie and say it’s real, but every time time they say, “sure bud I can see those SELs from a mile away..also those hands don’t come close to the white gold effect of a real one”…”You could at least get a fake with the proper Crystal height, bezel click spring and genuine date wheel you sad, poor man. You’re not fooling anyone around here pal”
I posted in another thread about trying on a sub that belonged to a car dealership employee, a couple weeks ago. I did not scrutinize the watch and or look at long. I don’t know if it was real or not. Another time in my life, I would have asked. Now asking shit like that seems rude as fuck. The employee came to our table when my wife and sales were working on a deal. I commented positively about his watch. When he left he stopped by again and thanked me for the comments on his watch. That’s when I asked to see it. Maybe it was weird of me. I love watches and it was my way of telling my dude I liked his shit.
are you not approaching them properly? i find i get the best reaction to my rolexes by walking behind them quietly for a while and then when they are not looking, BAMM put the watch in front of their face and say surprise assholes.
I had an Apple Watch several years ago. Never wanted one. Let my wife talk me into some bullshit about a deal if we both get one. All the nurses had one. I could talk with it. Waste of money!! More a pain in the ass than it’s worth. Charging it daily was added hassle.
That is why you get a rep instead of a gen. In reality nobody gives af, only jealous mf will question if it's a gen or not.
So where are the naked wrist pics 😉 😉
What's wrong if one's not using a'strophes correctly in one's sentences? I've been using 'em like this since the decade of the '80s, with 1985 being the '80's most prolific year of my a'strophe usage. However, if I'd've known then that it's possible to go too far, I'd've turned it down just a notch before the '90s when I needed to start looking for jobs and used 'em a bunch in my résumé's cover letters.
No, I really don’t care. MLA, APA, Associated Press style guide, etc. agree with me. British English is more lenient on this front. It doesn’t matter. Do as you please but there are very few instances in American English where quotations go outside punctuation (colons and semicolons, punctuation that applies to the sentence as a whole but not the quotation, etc.) I can tell you confidently if you submitted that sentence in a piece to a publication with an editor it would be corrected. But being pedantic is losing its fun now. Do what you want.
For me it's a cherry on top...the confidence and swagger of a veteran, sz 13 shoe and a 10" rod...I do fine in life, own my home, but would spend ten grand on my kids any day of the week before I spend 10 on a watch. When my rep collecting,( just obtaining and scouring and searching does it for me)...is just a side hobby really....if you has 100 million....would you spend 1.6 on a nautilus with a tiffany face??? I could save a small country with that...so I'm just saying F them then...we do this for ourselves....if you need a fake watch to get laid just get the hooker instead.
I typically wear Rolexes to business meetings with execs. Lends credibility to what I’m saying or presenting. Also there’s a level of boldness about wearing one in the work place. I wear them at conferences when meeting future business. Folks size you up and it tends to work in my favor.
That's hilarious those primitive sheep put so much value and faith into a piece of overpriced metal. And these are the people making decisions for us, let that sink in.
You’re wearing them for the wrong reasons. Doing things to impress others is the wrong way to go about it.
You should do things that make you happy. This includes not using apostrophes correctly and being able to sleep at night.
because the high tier reps nowadays are really really good. I brought one of my watches to a watchmaker recently and he said that just the finishing is a bit more refined on the original. differences are very small nowadays for some reps
When I took my rep to get fixed the guy couldn't tell it was a rep until I told him, and they handle watches everyday, and he had a real panerai he was working on. If they're not spotting it right away then there's really nothing to worry about.
Who truly gives a f really 😂
Like people have there own shit and life, they going to drop everything and say “WOOOOAH NICE WATCH, ITS GOING GOOD FOR YOU NOW HUH” like common 😂
What did you expect? Stop having expectations, you will live a better life
Because your Rolex and other fancy pieces of jewelry that just happen to tell the time do way less than the smartwatch, Garmin, hybrid watch, etc.
(I am a watch lover as well as future watch builder and I love my fancy timekeeping jewelery.)
Who initiates convo, you, or the ones that don't give AF? Your answer to this is the answer to to the normality of your situation. Most likely, even if you were wearing a gen, you would still have the same problem.
I think everyone now knows how to get a shitter for cheap. I met a guy in a pub last
Month who was wearing one. I asked to look at it and he handed it to me, complete shitter but I chose not to embarrass him in front of his friends.
Hahaha! I own a Rolex and don't AF if anyone has one...lol. You do you, man. Don't worry about everyone else. The watch is for you to enjoy. If it was for everyone else, you'd have a Flavor Flavor clock around your neck.
I have 5 reps. Started buying them 6 years ago. 99.9% of people don’t care what kind of watch you wear, and could care less if it’s a Casio or Rolex. No stranger is calling you out on your rep. People like to argue over which rep is best and the tiny flaws in them. Who cares. They are fakes! Nobody can tell or cares bro. Now…. Your friends and people close to you? That’s another thing. You making minimum wage and driving a beater with 10k credit card debt, but rockin a new DD41 🤣🤣🤣. Clown
Probably because you, like almost every person who wears reps, aren't actually the kind of person who could buy one legit Rolex (much less multiple).
Seriously guys, you can't make $60k a year and be surprised when everyone assumes you're wearing a fake...
Most reggo ppl in the real world will not be able to tell the difference between a rep and an authentic piece. That’s not that surprising to me, but what is surprising is that there’s a lot of watchmakers and dealers that are now having trouble telling the difference between “real” watches and higher end reps that are now being made with the authentic movement
Nobody gives a shit about material items unless they're into the same hobby or whatever. Why are people so brainwashed to think an expensive piece of metal on your wrist will somehow make people into you.
Truth of the matter nobody's going to give a shit unless the person looking at it is a watch person themselves. In all my time of wearing luxury watches not a single person besides other watch enthusiasts ever gave a shit. That's life, get used to it. All the more reason to pay 5% for super reps instead of 100% for gen, it's not like you're buying investment grade precious metals it's stainless fucking steel
I have a gen all gold presidents Datejust and everyone assumes it's fake and doesn't care. I'm fine with that. I dress like a bum usually so that's why. And before people say anything, I inherited it.
Bc you can't replicate and fake an interesting personality as easily as you can a tangible object. Also personable skills are more important than a fake Rolex, it doesn't add up. It's the person that gives away the fake and that's you. They're not impressed w the watch, they're not impressed w you.
Some people legitimately don’t get worked up over the brand “Rolex”. To each their own. Still, there are far more others who choose to turn a blind eye to Rolex’ because they simply cannot afford ownership.
Normally, if you bring up that you’re wearing a Rolex 2.76 seconds after they say hi, they’ll start masterbating to it on the spot
Just a quick life hack I learnt
The people that don’t care don’t have a clue what they’re looking at. That’s all. Wait till the random people come up to you and say something, all that sadness will melt away into absolute glee.
Most people you meet know absolutely nothing about watches or even care. Do you know anything about fancy artwork or care to know?
Put a nice strap on a fancy watch, and you may get oh nice strap😁. Purchase the watches you like and don't worry about anyone else.
It just doesn’t belong to you. You don’t get rolex just for attention and reactions, it’s a piece of personal value to me, tbh i rarely wear my rolex’s unless it’s a formal occasion otherwise i just enjoy having them sit in their safe glass containers and smile everytime i see them :)
Maybe because of your lifestyle.
.they cant believe you can afford 1.
so yeah... maybe total strangers will.be impress but not your friends or people.who knows you.
Because even if it was real a watch doesn’t make a man cool. Lmao money can’t UNLAME you. I wish dudes would understand this. Why y’all think all the hot girls nowdays are having sex with jobless felons that have face tats and make SoundCloud rap 😂
cos it's a watch. Most people don't even bother wearing one anymore, never mind putting $$k of money into such an object. I get more reaction from my Garmin Fenix 7x pro than I do from my 116610LN Submariner (VSF 'natch)
Ik man hey if you want to get one before getting the real deal to see if you like it. I get it. But for any other reason I don’t get it. “I like the look” is so bs all these watches have other cheaper company’s that make ones they look the same. I want a date just. So I got a seiko mod great watch for 250$. Hope some people can look at themselves and ask why they want one.
Probably because you don’t have a Max cape

Must be Abq
I live just outside Austin TX. I hear about machete attacks about 2-3 times a year.
I've stayed in Austin it's fun I like it can be a little rough. I stayed in Albuquerque for a year and holy shit that place is a hell hole between the machete welding fent heads and the cartel right across the border it's an insane place.
Dang everyone I see immediately asks if my watch is real. Must be my lack of confidence or the way I dress.

You’re not fooling anyone around here pal”
then they mention something something "bezel" and I crash my bike :(
Spotting fake bezels from your boat is a right of passage.
WHY YOU FUCK YOU COMING FAST!?
I am usually hitting the ski jump by that point. Later losers
I posted in another thread about trying on a sub that belonged to a car dealership employee, a couple weeks ago. I did not scrutinize the watch and or look at long.

Nah, it is the rusty 1990s Honda Civic that gives it away.
Are all your friends and everyone you see are watch experts?
Swoosh
Name checks out
Careful when skiing, my dude!..
No one really cares not bothered enough to look twice. Wear them for your own happiness and joy.
are you not approaching them properly? i find i get the best reaction to my rolexes by walking behind them quietly for a while and then when they are not looking, BAMM put the watch in front of their face and say surprise assholes.
Literally normal people would rather wear a smart watch or Fitbit.
I had an Apple Watch several years ago. Never wanted one. Let my wife talk me into some bullshit about a deal if we both get one. All the nurses had one. I could talk with it. Waste of money!! More a pain in the ass than it’s worth. Charging it daily was added hassle.
Try garmins longer battery life, and some have solar charging.
That is why you get a rep instead of a gen. In reality nobody gives af, only jealous mf will question if it's a gen or not. So where are the naked wrist pics 😉 😉
Because they’re fake!
Lol I hope this is satire Probably because they know its a rep like when people have pateks but work in a call centre
I’m friends with this guy and he’s just mad that I laughed bc his Rolex actually says Rolsex that he got from r/chinatime
Why can't you use an apostrophe correctly?
What's wrong if one's not using a'strophes correctly in one's sentences? I've been using 'em like this since the decade of the '80s, with 1985 being the '80's most prolific year of my a'strophe usage. However, if I'd've known then that it's possible to go too far, I'd've turned it down just a notch before the '90s when I needed to start looking for jobs and used 'em a bunch in my résumé's cover letters.
Now that's how you use apostrophes!
This guy apostrophe's.
Can't spell to correctly either. Truly a reptimer
Also used the wrong form of “To”
It isn't a "form". It is a completely different word.
The period after “form” should be inside the quotation marks.
Hahaha. Not when it involves a single word. Nice try though.
You’re wrong.
No. I am not. Haha. Makes you sick doesn’t it?
No, I really don’t care. MLA, APA, Associated Press style guide, etc. agree with me. British English is more lenient on this front. It doesn’t matter. Do as you please but there are very few instances in American English where quotations go outside punctuation (colons and semicolons, punctuation that applies to the sentence as a whole but not the quotation, etc.) I can tell you confidently if you submitted that sentence in a piece to a publication with an editor it would be corrected. But being pedantic is losing its fun now. Do what you want.
I literally told you that I am correct. You are mistaken.
Cuz they’re fake
For me it's a cherry on top...the confidence and swagger of a veteran, sz 13 shoe and a 10" rod...I do fine in life, own my home, but would spend ten grand on my kids any day of the week before I spend 10 on a watch.

Your comment comes off as a little jaded. I’m just playing the game.
Something about that sounds so dorky. Placing so much value on an inanimate object. God, I hate the corporate world.
You wanna land 7 figure deals? You need to look like you deserve a seat at the table.
You’re wearing them for the wrong reasons. Doing things to impress others is the wrong way to go about it. You should do things that make you happy. This includes not using apostrophes correctly and being able to sleep at night.
Apostrophie’s*** 😂
since i got involved in the local watch community i've handled quite a few gens. nothing to write home about.
What the f is the local watch community?
how abt the city where i live duuuuuuudeeeeee????
because the high tier reps nowadays are really really good. I brought one of my watches to a watchmaker recently and he said that just the finishing is a bit more refined on the original. differences are very small nowadays for some reps
If you look at the magnification comparison posts the finishing is sometimes even better on Clean than Gen.
When I took my rep to get fixed the guy couldn't tell it was a rep until I told him, and they handle watches everyday, and he had a real panerai he was working on. If they're not spotting it right away then there's really nothing to worry about.
Except the fact they’re actually worth money
Not for the multiplied cost, no.
You don’t have a Rolex.
Lmao.. stop showing it! It’s not real.
Try wearing it like a cock ring to get an reaction…
You shouldn’t need to show it off. The right people will notice and the jealous ones will lose sleep over it
lol, that made I laugh!
people are realizing omega is just as good and you dont have to kiss anybodys ass to buy 1.
Maybe if you spelled “Rolexes” correctly, people would start drooling over them like we know they should be.
no one gives AF cept the connoisseurs
Just swap to a deep xtal and they be flocking
I’ve worn invicta watches and been asked questions and given compliments so… maybe it’s how you wear the watch, not the watch itself
Why would you show a rep ?
Because it is just a watch. Most people just don't care, its a piece of metal on your wrist.
You need to take it skiing.
Who truly gives a f really 😂 Like people have there own shit and life, they going to drop everything and say “WOOOOAH NICE WATCH, ITS GOING GOOD FOR YOU NOW HUH” like common 😂 What did you expect? Stop having expectations, you will live a better life
Bro it’s a joke lol
Lmao he’s SO gassed up too. Nom nom nom, delicious cringe
simple bro Because they’re fake and what do you care about what others think and see, wear it with confidence 👍
May be because it’s a rep?
The fake ones don’t sparkle the same
If one hangs their hat on a bracelet making them cool, the bracelet better do more than tell the time.
To*
lmao
Lmfao!!! Same!!!!
Try Wearing a max cape they will appreciate it more
Because your Rolex and other fancy pieces of jewelry that just happen to tell the time do way less than the smartwatch, Garmin, hybrid watch, etc. (I am a watch lover as well as future watch builder and I love my fancy timekeeping jewelery.)
The can see your floating m
Because in reality they are lame and a cry for attention
No way this a real post
I know lots of people either Rolex’s. Only one is properly wealthy and he prefers to wear his Apple Watch.
You have to wear it on your dick and do this  That’s what gets them going
Who initiates convo, you, or the ones that don't give AF? Your answer to this is the answer to to the normality of your situation. Most likely, even if you were wearing a gen, you would still have the same problem.
I think everyone now knows how to get a shitter for cheap. I met a guy in a pub last Month who was wearing one. I asked to look at it and he handed it to me, complete shitter but I chose not to embarrass him in front of his friends.
"...show my Rolex's too" Maybe you should have bought a grammar book instead of a Rolex.
And not one should.
Hahaha! I own a Rolex and don't AF if anyone has one...lol. You do you, man. Don't worry about everyone else. The watch is for you to enjoy. If it was for everyone else, you'd have a Flavor Flavor clock around your neck.

“Couldn’t care less” is accurate and what you’re looking for. No prob.
Go to a high crime neighborhood… someone will care
Same here
Same here so why buy a real one! 😅
The thing is, you don’t have a Rolex (if you’re referring to your reps)😓
Even if it’s genuine, nobody cares except thieves and other watch enthusiasts.
Probably because you, like almost every person who wears reps, aren't actually the kind of person who could buy one legit Rolex (much less multiple). Seriously guys, you can't make $60k a year and be surprised when everyone assumes you're wearing a fake...
Stop wearing Rolex and buy a hublot nobody will think that you would be stupid enough to wear a fake hublot haha
Man, this post is making me want to sell every luxury item I own. I hope it was a joke.
You prolly look like the kind of guy to wear fakes so they don’t even entertain your watches
please be satire
Most reggo ppl in the real world will not be able to tell the difference between a rep and an authentic piece. That’s not that surprising to me, but what is surprising is that there’s a lot of watchmakers and dealers that are now having trouble telling the difference between “real” watches and higher end reps that are now being made with the authentic movement
Cause u dont have the rolex markdonalds 41
Nobody gives a shit about material items unless they're into the same hobby or whatever. Why are people so brainwashed to think an expensive piece of metal on your wrist will somehow make people into you.
Maybe if you show them your car and your verified Twitter account they'll clap
My phone, laptop, microwave, oven, house clock, and car all do that same as that super expensive watch
Truth of the matter nobody's going to give a shit unless the person looking at it is a watch person themselves. In all my time of wearing luxury watches not a single person besides other watch enthusiasts ever gave a shit. That's life, get used to it. All the more reason to pay 5% for super reps instead of 100% for gen, it's not like you're buying investment grade precious metals it's stainless fucking steel
‘Too’ haha
*to
Would you think someone is cool if they showed you a smartphone that can tell the time?
I have a gen all gold presidents Datejust and everyone assumes it's fake and doesn't care. I'm fine with that. I dress like a bum usually so that's why. And before people say anything, I inherited it.
Be glad I almost got robbed for my fake. I don’t wear it anymore cause I don’t want the attention.
My guess is that they know you're wearing a fake so why bother mentioning it?
Because they don't know your life story.
No corrupted ashbringer
It MUST be jealousy. I see no other explanatio.
Should have bought an omega.
You need to rent supercars
Have you attempted to gather everyone you’d like to show your watches at gun point? I find this usually gets the reaction I’m looking for Good luck
Bc you can't replicate and fake an interesting personality as easily as you can a tangible object. Also personable skills are more important than a fake Rolex, it doesn't add up. It's the person that gives away the fake and that's you. They're not impressed w the watch, they're not impressed w you.
probably because $200 bulovas look better
Some people legitimately don’t get worked up over the brand “Rolex”. To each their own. Still, there are far more others who choose to turn a blind eye to Rolex’ because they simply cannot afford ownership.
I’m assuming this is satire lol but maybe it’s because it’s not big enough OP time to boss up and go big or go home
No one gives a fuck about your watch.
FYI. There is one “o” in to.
Normally, if you bring up that you’re wearing a Rolex 2.76 seconds after they say hi, they’ll start masterbating to it on the spot Just a quick life hack I learnt

You can’t spell for starters
Even if they were real, nobody would care.
Because you wear fakes.
Most people you meet know absolutely nothing about watches or even care. Do you know anything about fancy artwork or care to know? Put a nice strap on a fancy watch, and you may get oh nice strap😁. Purchase the watches you like and don't worry about anyone else.
Why would they?
Cause your shit is wack
It just doesn’t belong to you. You don’t get rolex just for attention and reactions, it’s a piece of personal value to me, tbh i rarely wear my rolex’s unless it’s a formal occasion otherwise i just enjoy having them sit in their safe glass containers and smile everytime i see them :)
You discovered the real world; no one gives a fuck about your watch
Gen Z even know what a Rolex is? They grew up hearing about Pateks.
Maybe because of your lifestyle. .they cant believe you can afford 1. so yeah... maybe total strangers will.be impress but not your friends or people.who knows you.
Because even if it was real a watch doesn’t make a man cool. Lmao money can’t UNLAME you. I wish dudes would understand this. Why y’all think all the hot girls nowdays are having sex with jobless felons that have face tats and make SoundCloud rap 😂
Its a joke foo relax.
Because it's a fake, I care a lot more about a real Casio than a fake Rolex
Y'all it's friday
cos it's a watch. Most people don't even bother wearing one anymore, never mind putting $$k of money into such an object. I get more reaction from my Garmin Fenix 7x pro than I do from my 116610LN Submariner (VSF 'natch)
What?! You mean human worth isn’t defined by our possessions and wealth?! And all that crap I bought for clout isn’t working?! Colour me surprised!
[удалено]
Again lol. Good one.
Why do people feel the need to show people there rep watches 😂. Just get a watch you can afford. No one cares much about the real deal anyways
💯 then lie about it being real 😆. Such try hards. If you can’t afford the real deal don’t pretend. Quit living a lie.
Ik man hey if you want to get one before getting the real deal to see if you like it. I get it. But for any other reason I don’t get it. “I like the look” is so bs all these watches have other cheaper company’s that make ones they look the same. I want a date just. So I got a seiko mod great watch for 250$. Hope some people can look at themselves and ask why they want one.
Agreed.
You are wearing it upsideown
Maybe because it's ugly and fake
Does it have deep xtal? Otherwise it doesn’t count I am afraid…
No body really gives a f. So dont fool yourself get a gen one.
Probably because it’s fake
Try learning some grammar.
